"Master Shu is coming back soon? Mrs. Shu took Sister Chan to Mingshang Pavilion two days ago and didn't mention this matter. Didn't you say it would take half a year?"

This time Emperor Shengning assigned Shu Pingkuo a very heavy inspection task. More than a dozen cities, including Min City, which had previously been mined for gold and iron mines by the eldest prince, needed to be inspected one by one, so the decision was made The time is half a year.

"Could it be that in order to come back early to arrange a betrothal for Shu Chan, Imperial Ambassador Shu stayed up all night and burned the ointment to watch the sundial?"

Geng Xingshuang's words were sarcastic. Although Yang Qingmo hadn't yet said clearly what was going on with the Xie family, she knew from the fact that Shu Pingkuo had forcefully forced Shu Chan to cancel the engagement and hid the situation of the Xie family. There must be something wrong with it, and it is very bad. Otherwise, why would the eldest son of a feudal official have to use this method to marry a wife?

Moreover, Shu Chan has a weak mind after all, so they are eager to marry her back, which is even more problematic.

"That's not true!" Yang Qingmo said, "His Majesty summoned him back temporarily."

Yang Qingmo didn't say the reason, and Geng Xingshuang didn't ask. He was now in the Hanlin Academy and often walked in front of the emperor. Naturally, he knew in advance information that many important officials didn't know. Since he didn't say the reason, she didn't need to ask.

"What's the big problem with the Xie family?"

Yang Qingmo said: "It is Xie Lei himself who has the problem. Logically speaking, for a feudal official like Xie Kun who has been in office all year round, his wife, children and family need to stay in Ningdu City, even if other family members can follow him to take office. However, the eldest son of the Xie family must stay in Ningdu. However, the Xie family only had one bastard who was not as good as a weak crown. However, the emperor agreed. There are two reasons for this. This accident has damaged my roots. In this life, I will only have the first and second sons who have been born, and the second is because the eldest son of the Xie family has been suffering from dementia since he was a child."

"Dementia? What kind of dementia?"

There are many types of dementia. Some are just dumb and will not cause harm to others, but there are also those who suddenly go crazy and attack people.

Yang Qingmo said: "According to the information Wu Biao learned, Xie Lei married his first wife when he was 16 years old. His wife died the next year. It was said that she died of illness. He stayed with his wife for one year and married his second wife at the age of 19. Three months later, the stepwife became pregnant, and a few months later, before the time of delivery, she gave birth to a stillborn baby less than one month old. Due to heavy bleeding during childbirth, the stepwife died, and she had to stay in mourning for one year.

This year, Mrs. Xie once again married her eldest son. Although Xie Lei has dementia, according to Mrs. Xie, he only gets sick occasionally and is normal most of the time. Therefore, the Xie family also has certain requirements for their eldest daughter-in-law. A poor and small family. They look down on their daughter, but there are families with a little fame and wealth in the West, although there are families who want to fight for power. For example, Xie Lei's second wife is the third daughter of the current Fengcheng Magistrate He. female……"

Hearing this, Geng Xingshuang's heart sank. Although up to now, Xie Lei only had dementia on the outside, and Mrs. Xie Lei's image is already like a humanoid demon, a demon that swallows the life of a young girl.

I had two wives in a row, but within a few months to a year of getting married, the flower of life fell quickly and silently. Is this just a coincidence?

Geng Xingshuang didn't believe it.

If it is really a coincidence, then please forgive her for speculating on an innocent person with the greatest malice.

Yang Qingmo saw that her face was pale, and her eyes, which were originally clear and clear, now seemed to be stained with frost and mist, filled with moisture, making her look particularly weak.

Yang Qingmo looked sideways at her, pursed his lips slightly, and couldn't help but reach out to touch her face. But just as he stretched out his hand, he paused. This was outside, and they were not married yet. He was like this , too Meng Lang.

He just touched her hand gently with the help of his wide sleeves. Geng Xingshuang noticed a warm touch on her hand. She looked towards Yang Qingmo, only to find that he was looking ahead, but his ears were quietly turning red. .

She palpitated in her heart. The depression that had just settled in her heart gradually dissipated. She suddenly became bolder. She reached forward with her fingers, hooked the hand with clear joints that was almost next to her, and then gently Holding it lightly, her movements can be described as fast and accurate.Not to mention that Yang Qingmo didn't react, even Geng Xingshuang himself was shocked by his actions.

She was confused, why did she catch this man's hand and hold it.

When he reacted, he tried to pull out again, but found that his hand was already tightly wrapped by that big hand.

The two of them held hands on the winding mountain road, covered by the wide sleeves, when Geng Shuhuai was attracted by a few little ones.

Geng Xingshuang felt that they couldn't go too far. If the second brother came back to his senses after a while and saw this scene, his nose would be crooked with anger. If he knew that she was the one who took the initiative to hold the other person's hand, he might jump in anger. .

She struggled to break free twice, and couldn't help but glare at Yang Qingmo, who had to slowly let go of her.

"You keep talking."

"Do you still want to listen?" Yang Qingmo observed her expression.

Geng Xingshuang nodded, "Of course I want to listen. Although it is unbearable, covering your ears and eyes cannot keep the unbearable things out."

"Master He's legitimate daughter died in the Xie family. Master He himself did not go to the Xie family, but Mrs. He went to make a scene, but it was eventually calmed down by the Xie family. The outside world does not know who Xie Lei's second wife is. How did he die? It's just that Xie Lei died two wives in a row, and they both died about a year after entering the family. There are different opinions and many speculations. In addition, Xie Lei had dementia, and marrying another wife would be his third wife. , so although the Xie family had been dating Xie Lei since the beginning of the year, they had never been able to find the right one.

Although Xie Kun and Shu Pingkuo are both officials in the court, one is in Xidi and the other is in Ningdu City. They may have never met each other. The reason why the two families came to the point of getting married was at the beginning of this year. The magistrate of Chuxian County, He Juncuo, returned to Ningdu City to report on his duties and help bridge the gap between the two families. If the marriage was finalized, He Juncuo's father, Mr. He Yinhe, the minister of Guanglu Temple, would personally be the matchmaker. "

After Yang Qingmo finished speaking, he coughed lightly and turned to look at Geng Xingshuang, with a hint of caution and uneasiness in his eyes.

"Why is there a He family everywhere!" Geng Xingshuang muttered, kicking away the stones under his feet.

She has not forgotten how those people from the Yang family plotted against her in order to make room for He Yuzhu, the precious eldest daughter of the He family.

"Does your foot hurt? Do you want me to carry you?"

Yang Qingmo asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all. Let's walk faster and go back early in the afternoon. I have to tell Mrs. Shu these things. There must be something wrong with the Xie family, and Sister Chan must not marry her."

Geng Xingshuang said, speeding up and walking up.
